Traveling with your child who has Autism is always an adventure. In our case, it’s usually not a big problem, but it’s easy to see how airport security could trigger a meltdown.

Many thanks to the Toys R Us in Times Square. I didn’t catch the nice salesgirl’s name, but when she asked us at checkout if we wanted to donate a buck for Autism, my wife gave her a “heck yes” and told her about our daughter who was waiting nicely for us to purchase […]
